Description

The Flying Ace (Norman, 1926). Three Sheet (41" X 79").
Released in 1926, and starring Lawrence Criner and Kathryn Boyd,
this film was a major hit for Norman Studios. Criner plays a World
War I fighter pilot who returns home a hero. Peg Reynolds is
Criner's sidekick, and together they rescue Boyd and her father
from railroad thieves. The film boasts death defying feats in "the
greatest airplane thriller ever filmed," but in reality, Norman
shot all the airplane scenes with the plane on the ground. Even so,
the film was a sensation, and grossed close to $20,000 through
Norman's distribution efforts. This beautiful stone litho three
sheet is in excellent condition, with only slight right edge wear,
and pinpoint crossfold separations. In three sections, as
originally printed. Folded, Very Fine+.
